Robicheaux and Trenton Hebert signed paperwork Tuesday to continue their football careers beyond the high school level.<br />
Robicheaux inked with Louisiana College in Pineville, while Hebert is headed to Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College in Cloquet, Minnesota.<br />
Robicheaux said the process to pick a school was long and took a lot of thinking, “but I feel like it’s going to be a good fit for me.”<br />
Robicheaux also considered Mid-American Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas, but chose Louisiana College because it’s a lot closer to home. He said he likes the family-like atmosphere at Louisiana College.<br />
Berwick Head Coach Eric Holden said Louisiana College is a “great university,” and Head Coach Dennis Dunn “does a great job there.”<br />
“D.J. is a dedicated, hardworking individual who’s self-motivated, so that always leads to great things,” Holden said.<br />
Robicheaux was Berwick’s defensive leader during the 2016 season, Holden said. He’s “extremely aggressive,” vocal and a motivator, Holden said.<br />
Speed and quickness are the two things Robicheaux said he needs to work on the most while preparing to play at the next level.<br />
Robicheaux, a safety, will work hard to try to start at that position his freshman year at Louisiana College.<br />
Robicheaux will dedicate the coming months to training hard and eating right, he said.<br />
Robicheaux was a first-team All-District 8-3A selection as a defensive back following his senior season, while he also was chosen as an honorable mention Louisiana Sports Writers Association Class 3A All-State pick. He was selected to participate in the Max Emfinger All-American Bowl after his senior season.<br />
For Hebert, Fond du Lac was the only school where he considered playing football. Hebert said he likes the campus, the cold weather and “new environment” there.<br />
Hebert said he hopes to play either center, his high school position, or offensive guard. He was selected to participate in the Max Emfinger All-American Bowl after his senior season.<br />
Hebert was one of Berwick’s leaders this past season on the offensive line and is “ult r a - c o m p e t i t i v e , ” Holden said. Holden has sent quite a few of his players to Fond du Lac.<br />
“It’s a great place, kids get stretched out of their comfort zone being that far away from home,” Holden said.<br />
“Every young man that I send up there has turned into a great individual,” Holden said.<br />
Hebert said he needs to work most on improving his footwork and strength.<br />
Hebert also intends to make sure he listens more intently to his coaches.<br />
Holden will keep working with both Hebert and Robicheaux to help them train on aspects of the game, such as explosiveness and hand-eye coordination, until they go off to college.</p>
